事实上,托马斯是一位要求严格的教师。在授课中,他与两位学生在他的工作室中造句,你戴着耳机跟着他们练习。托马斯说出一句英文,然后等待你和其中一位学生将它翻译成所学的语言。最后他会说出答案。两位学生中一位聪敏,一位则有些“愚笨”,这样,你便会因为表现优于迟钝的学生而得意洋洋,但又很难跟上那位聪明的学生。课程对动词变位没有要求,但对语法的重视细致入微——这种重视虽然很少言明,但融入到整个学习过程之中。托马斯的音频教学富有感染力,他的课程引人入胜、充满乐趣。你也可以获得进步的满足感。短短几个小时内,你便能用所学习的语言造出复杂的长句。学习了他10个小时的西班牙语基础课程之后,我感觉自己已经能开口对话了。
I made a trip to Colombia – and found myself way behind Mr Bloomberg. It is not that Thomas is a bad teacher. In a lifetime of learning and trying to learn languages, I have never encountered a better one.
我去了一趟哥伦比亚,发现自己的水平与布隆伯格相去甚远。这并不是说托马斯是位糟糕的老师。我毕生一直在学习和尝试学习语言,尚未遇见比他更好的老师。
It is just that the notion that you can leave it all to the teacher is nonsense. Learning a language requires effort, memorising vocabulary, looking over the grammar, watching television, reading newspapers and talking to real people rather than just two hired participants. The learner has to take responsibility.
